Jin kept his gaze low and his expression grim as he shook his head, his eyes not really focusing on anything but mostly pointed towards his own feet."No... Talking won't help... Not after this long..."he muttered as he loosely clenched his left hand into a fist and raised it up some while hunching over and resting his head against it, the first knuckle of his thumb ending up pressed above the bridge of his nose. The elbow of that arm ended up resting on the disguised Zorua's left thigh, causing the whole arm to act as a sort of support beam for the black-haired male's head."I've had... Well, a long while to sort out my feelings on the matter. It just hurts to see someone else go through even half that kind of pain."It was only after this last sentence, Jin's voice having a tired sound to it, that the teen shifted his eyes to look at Avonlea again. He tried to give her a small smile, but the most he was able to muster was a twitch in the corner of his mouth.
Exhaling slowly, Jin straightened back up some as he listened to the albino woman explain about the other package she received. His left arm hung limply down his side, while the hand of his right rested upon the upper portion of the leg that shared that side. The tip of his right hand's middle finger lightly traced a circle just above his knee once Avonlea mentioned Officer Jenny, switching between clockwise and counter-clockwise every two or three circles, and continued to do so until the story was finished. At the ending, Jin's finger was no longer circling, but tapping, the time between each tap taking approximately the amount between tracing two circles."I suppose that means you've a story of your own burdening you? Aside from the one behind your flower?"he finally asked, tilting his head slightly and narrowing his eyelids a touch as he did so, the eyes themselves focusing on the one good one Avonlea had."Either way, we'll still have to head in and report those poachers."
While Jin continued his conversation with Avonlea, Sable continued wandering about Pewter as she searched for the gym. For a time, most of what the teen found were gift shops, rookie bug catchers warning about the rock types the gym leader had, and even a museum."You'd think it'd be easier to find someplace so important to the city,"the red-haired teen muttered with a slight bite to her tone as she stopped and leaned against the side of a building for a moment. She crossed her arms over her chest - and over her bust - as she turned her head left and right from where she was leaning. She felt the fingers of her right hand tap in an inconsistent pattern against the upper portion of her left arm as she took in the sights of the city from where she was leaning. No matter how much she craned her head from where she briefly rested, though, she could not spot any sign of a building that looked like it stood out within the city, at least not enough to obviously be the gym.

Avonlea gave a gentle smile. She didn't say anything else on the matter, but her over was there if he ever changed his mind."My flower is tied in with my dark secret. I wouldn't have it if it wasn't. I wouldn't say it burdens me....At least, not all of it."What happened to her child would always haunt her, but killing her pig of an ex-husband and his lover made her feel so much better. She looked down to look at Mikhail and Decadus, seeing them getting along quite well. Which was great. She didn't have to worry about fighting between them."Miss Roselum, your baby Kangaskhan is ready for pick-up."Avonlea stood and went to retrieve Alisha. Joy said she was in great health and only had a few scratches that were quickly treated. Avonlea settled Alisha back in her carrier, where she curled up to nap."Thank you, Nurse Joy."

Jin slowly nodded twice after Avonlea spoke, but elected to keep his mouth sealed this time around. A good thing from the looks of it, as the white-haired woman was soon being called to the counter by the resident nurse to claim the young Kangaskhan. While the woman went to speak with the nurse and cuddle the little infant, Jin shifted his position in the cushioned seat and turned his head to look out the doors of the Pokemon center. The dark type watched the outside from where he sat for a few seconds, then looked over at where Avonlea was still standing before standing up himself.
The disguised Zorua managed to actually get a small smile on his face as he walked over to where the albino woman stood."I should probably go looking for Sable now. Either she's waiting at Pewter gym already and wondering what's taking me so long or she's still trying to find the gym and will be annoyed if she manages to beat me there,"he said, chuckling slightly afterwards. He quieted down soon after, then glanced at the door before looking back at Avonlea."If you still wanted, though, I wouldn't mind accompanying you to get those guys reported. Not sure how much it'll help since I couldn't get much of a look at either of the ones that passed us, but at least it'd help keep less prepared trainers from getting into trouble."
After taking a few moments to relax and look around, Sable pushed off the building she was leaning against and started walking around again. Not only was she just done resting, she wasn't too keen on getting bugged for loitering or anything like that. The redhead ended up taking a few more wrong turns after that but eventually came across a building that looked like it might be the right one. It was a rather large building, about the size of a small warehouse from the looks of it, and it had several rather large slab of stone in place of a more standard wall on the side that held the entrance. Sable had a hand on the side of her head with the pointer finger rubbing her scalp just under the edge of the bandanna and the strap of her goggles as she looked up at the entrance, not quite sure what she had expected. It certainly didn't look anything like Striaton's gym.

Avonlea looked at Jin and shook her head softly."No, it's fine. Go find Sable. I'll take care of the report."She wondered how Ezra was doing with his training. Shaking her head softly, she looked at Mikhail and Decadus, who came over to her when they saw she wanted to leave. Decadus flew up and perched on her shoulder while Mikhail stayed next to her."I'll meet you at the gym in a bit. If Sable challenges Brock, tell her I wish her luck."

Avonlea waved to Jin briefly before leaving the Pokemon Center and heading to the police station. As she did, Decadus flew off to do something. She figured he was just going to stretch his wings, so she didn't stop him. After all, he was a bird. They needed to fly. She spent a good amount of time in the station describing the two poachers the best she could and offering as much information as she could without betraying Jin's charade. She couldn't say there was a Zorua with them who told them what Alisha had said, because then they'd ask to meet him. And, Avonlea didn't want to ruin Jin's little game. Or, whatever it was. When she left, Decadus returned to her with an assortment of items. Five cheri berries, a moonstone, and a thing of odd incense. She had no idea where the Pidgey had gotten these things, but whatever. If he stole them, then she'd deal with it some other time."Thank you for the gifts, Decadus.""Pidgey~!"

Jin nodded a bit as Avonlea told him to go."Alright, if you say so,"he said, then turned to leave the building and be on his way. He paused briefly when the white-haired trainer gave him a message for his own trainer, then grinned and gave the woman a short wave as he turned his head to face her again."Will do, but I don't think she needs it. She'll probably have that badge by the time you're done with the report,"he told the woman, joking a bit but still confident that his trainer would be able to handle the gym leader swiftly. The disguised Zorua then turned around and left the building so that he could make his way toward the city's gym.
Sable had been waiting for a while and watching a few trainers come and go. Some of them seemed to do well against Brock, while others weren't quite as lucky. From what she could gather, Brock's Pokemon had the more annoying of their possible abilities, which meant it'd take two hits minimum to take down each Pokemon. To the teen, that was going to be a rather big problem, as while she didn't doubt that her Pokemon could take down something tough, they weren't really able to take the sort of stuff they dished out. Couple that with her opponent's Pokemon having an advantage against most of hers in terms of reflexes, and this battle might not go how the teen would like. Still, might as well give it a shot while she was there, eh?
The red-haired teen grinned a bit as she noticed that Jin had showed up with the rest of her Pokemon."Took you long enough. Get caught up chatting with Avonlea?"she asked, receiving a chuckle from the disguised Zorua in return."Yeah, kinda. Still got the rest of your team healed up, though,"he answered, handing the teen the four balls he had on his person. Three of them contained the rest of her team, while the fourth one was his own ball."By the way, Avonlea wishes you luck."
Sable raised an eyebrow at receiving the fourth ball, given how the male had apparently preferred to keep it on his own person, but didn't comment on it. Instead, she chuckled a bit at the well-wishing that her travel companion had given her."From how many trainers get sent back to the Pokemon center, I'd say I might need it,"she commented as she clipped the balls onto her belt, then gave Jin a grin before opening the door to the building."Let's see what this leader has to offer, shall we?"
Sable blinked two or three times as she looked around at the inside of the building. It looked like an oversized version of one of those rock garden things that seemed to be so popular. Not that it was bad or anything, just that it felt a bit odd to go back to such a sandy area after having left one to go traipsing about and taking the whole league challenge thing. Well, whatever. Just means I've got as much of an advantage here as themthe teen thought to herself as her eyes scanned the area, eventually settling on some kid that approached her and her companion.
The kid had a frown on his face as he looked at Jin and Sable, then folded his arms as he stood in the duo's way."Hey, only one challenger at a time! Besides, you need to get past me if you want to take on Brock!"he snapped, earning a roll of the eyes from Sable."You must be blind or something. Or else you'd notice that the guy with me doesn't even have any Pokemon on him,"Sable replied dryly, motioning towards Jin as the disguised Zorua turned around to show that, indeed, he did not have any Pokeballs on his person. At least, not anymore.
"See? He's not a problem. As for the second part, if you're gonna play the role of gatekeeper you're going to need to do a better job of intimidating me. Otherwise, toss out your Pokemon and let me get a warm-up battle."Sable didn't really sound all that mad as she spoke. If anything, she just sounded bored with the kid, which made the boy falter a moment before grabbing one of the two Pokeballs on his belt."R-right! We'll see how you do against one of Brock's hand-trained gym trainers!"he boasted in an attempt to sound tough again as he tossed out his first Pokemon, a Geodude.
Jin simply leaned against one of the nearby rocks as he watched Sable send out her Eevee."Alright Eevee, end it fast with Iron Tail!"he heard the teen call out, then winced as a smack of the tail sent the rock Pokemon sailing into another of the rocks scattered about the gym. Apparently this kid had the bad luck to not have a Geodude with Sturdy, and it showed from the fact that the Pokemon was knocked out with one hit. The gym trainer just had a shocked look on his face as he slowly held out the Geodude's Pokeball and recalled the Pokemon.
Sable bent down for a moment to give her Eevee a rub on the head and a scratch between the ears."Nice work. Let's save the rest of that power for when we face Brock,"she said as she pointed the Pokeball at the tan and creame bundle of fluff, then watched it get sucked back into the container before standing up and clipping the ball back on her belt. Once the teen was standing tall again, though, what brief look of cheer and adoration towards the cute little Pokemon was replaced with a face filled with boredom as she looked at the gym trainer and tilted her head slightly."So... Is that it? Or are you going to send out that other Pokemon of yours?"she asked, her voice just sounding uninterested more than anything else.
The boy had managed to get over the shock of his Pokemon being knocked out so easily and started unclipping the ball containing his other Pokemon."Good start, I'll give you that. You're not going to have such an easy time against this one, though!"As he spoke, the boy tossed out the ball he had, letting out the Pokemon inside. This time, it was a Sandshrew that the teen was to face. Sable blinked a couple of times as she looked over the little desert dweller, then turned to look at Jin."Uh, Jin? Isn't this place supposed to be a rock type gym?"she asked, earning a nod from the disguised Zorua."Yeah, it is. There's just not that many different kinds of rock Pokemon in Kanto. So, the other trainers go with the more common secondary typing to fill out their teams."
Sable kept her eyes locked on Jin for a moment longer, then shrugged and unclipped another ball on her belt."Eh, either way, looks like I'm pretty well prepared for it,"the teen commented dryly as she tossed the ball out in front of her, letting out her oddly-colored Snivy. The red and gold Snivy looked up at his trainer, then over at the Sandshrew before getting a smirk. Apparently, the grass type thought this one would be an easy win, and his trainer agreed for the most part."Hit it fast! Vine Whip!"Sable called out, and at her command a pair of thin vines shot out from under the tiny arms that the Snivy had.
This time, though, it looked like the gym trainer was ready and even expecting the move."Same as usual, Sandshrew! Let it pull you in close, then strike with Fury Cutter!"the boy called out, with Sable getting a rather grim expression as her Snivy started doing exactly that."Don't let it get too close! Just toss it!"the female trainer quickly called out, but the Sandshrew seemed ready for that possibility and managed to squeeze out from its plant bindings to slash at the Snivy, doing quite a bit of damage to the grass type."Tackle!"Sable called out, knowing her Snivy wouldn't be able to have another shot if the Sandshrew dove down into the sand.
The ground type had been expecting an attept to get the vines back to him, not an attack from the Pokemon itself, and thus was looking the wrong way as he was slammed into by the grass starter. That, coupled with how much damage the constricting vines had already done to him, ended up being enough to cause the Sandshrew to fall to the ground."Looks like this fight's over, kid,"Jin commented with a chuckle, pushing off from the rock he had been leaning against and walking over to his trainer's side. The gym trainer grumbled something as he recalled his tired Sandshrew, although Sable didn't really hear what while she bent down to tend to her Snivy's injuries. All she really heard was him saying something about her match against Brock not going how she'd like as she sprayed the contents of a few potions onto her Snivy to take care of the nasty scratch that Sandshrew had left him.
With the not so nice gym trainer taken care of and her team healed back up from what minor damage they had taken, Sable - along with her Snivy perched on her shoulders - made her way through the rest of the gym with no further troubles. Jin followed along beside her, looking around a bit as he did so. Even though he'd been to Pewter City before, he hadn't actually seen the inside of the gym for himself. It didn't take the duo too long to find the gym leader, considering he made himself rather easy to spot. Hard not to miss someone standing up on a large boulder with a spotlight over him while in the back of a warehouse-like building."I'm going to guess that you're Brock, then?"Sable asked a bit loudly as she approached the battlefield in front of the pedestal, for lack of a better term."If so, then I'm here to challenge you to a gym battle."
{{OOC: M'kay. Also, this thing took forever. DX And I'm nowhere near as confident about the result of this battle as Sable and Jin are. XD}}

With a slight flare for the theatrical at times Broke made sure those challenging his gym knew who was in charge here. "I am. And who are you? Its only polite i know my challengers name isn't it?" Sliding down from the boulder used to perch himself about the arena. Toking his place within the gym leaders box to away the challengers pokemon. "I guess ill start things off with this!" Throwing a red and white pokemon into the air, flash of light later and new stone joined the battle field of brown and gray rocks. Only this one moved. Revealing arms and a face the odd rock type floated just off the ground. "With my Geodude." Crossing his arms broke awaited his new challengers first pokemon. Judging by the Snivy sat atop its trainers shoulder he guess that would be it and it looked strong.

Sable couldn't help but smirk a bit as the gym leader asked for her name in return."I am Sable Voss. I've come a long way to test my team against yours. Hopefully you'll prove to be more challenging than that gym trainer of yours,"the teen called back, feeling like she was being a bit more dramatic in her introduction than she should be, even though there really wasn't much to it. Still, the man at the other end of the battlefield was acting a bit dramatic as well, so it's not as if this wasn't the place to act somewhat more theatrical than usual.
The red-haired teen made her way to the challenger's box as Brock took his position in the leader's, while Jin followed along beside the teen and stood next to her. Sable smirked as the leader sent out a Geodude, then held out her right arm. As the teen did so, her red and gold Snivy ran across it slightly before jumping off to land on the battlefield."As you can see, my first Pokemon is Snivy,"The teen replied, looking the odd rock Pokemon over as she waited for the fight to officially begin. From the looks of things, this one was somewhat stronger than the one her Eevee smacked aside with one hit, and even more important, likely had a different ability. This was apt to make the match a bit of a pain.
{{OOC: Snivy's only level 11 verging on 12, so Brock's got the first move. Edit: Sorry, just realized that I had the wrong Pokemon in the out of ball section of my post.}}

"A grass type pokemon. Smart choice to bring into a rock gym. But its going to take more then a type advantage to win here. Now Geodude Rock throw !" The head with arms for a pokemon spun head first towards the ground digging both hands into the arena floor and coming back up like a catapult unleashing its payload. A rock as large as the pokemon now barreled across the arena smashing into smaller rocks and crushing them until finally it made contact with the Snivy.

"I know. That's why we took the time to train,"Sable retorted as Brock gave her a bit of warning about type advantages not being everything in this fight. She then swung her arm out and pointed at the Geodude as it got ready to grab a rock to toss."Quickly, use Vine Whip!"the teen commanded, and the Snivy shot out a pair of thin vines in an attempt to strike the Geodude where it... Well, stood was not exactly the best word for a rock sitting on the ground.
Sable gritted her teeth as, just as she figured from seeing her Snivy's straightforward attack, the boulder hurled at the Pokemon easily knocked aside the vines and struck the grass Pokemon. Luckily, the sandy battlefield meant that he could wiggle out from underneath the boulder fairly easily."Don't be too obvious! Use the battlefield to your advantage!"Sable called out, having already taken note of the various large boulders scattered across the field. After shaking his head a bit, the grass type also seemed to get the idea and ducked out of the way of additional barrages of boulders, using the larger stones as cover.
Sable watched quietly as her Snivy tried to close the distance between him and his opponent. Her eyes flitted back and forth between the various boulders, although they were more apt to focus on the ones she thought her Snivy was ducking between. She already knew how far the rocks were, the real question was how far the grass Pokemon's vine whip could reach. If nothing else, it was worth a shot and might give the Pokemon an opening to exploit."Cross quickly with Vine Whip, then strike!"Admittedly, the order sounded odd, even to Sable's own ears. It certainly sounded strange to the Snivy, considering the only crossing it was doing was over the battlefield from one boulder to the other. Of course, considering the weight of the Snivy and how much its vines could move compared to the weight of one of those boulders, and suddenly the order became a lot more clear.
After only a slight bit of hesitation, a slender vine shot out from behind one of the boulders, past the Geodude, and wrapped around a different boulder on the other side of the field before being reeled in. Since the vine had to get shorter, it was not going to unwind from the boulder, the boulder was far heavier than what was doing the winding, and the vine was not going to break from quite this much strain, there was only one solution left. The Snivy ended up being pulled out from the boulder it was behind, zipping across the field, and heading right past the Geodude. It was only when the grass serpent got close that a second vine whipped out and struck at the sentient stone while the other vine, due to the Snivy not quite being used to using its vines in this manner, ended up slipping off the rock and back to the Snivy. It served its purpose, though, in getting the Snivy close to the Geodude and giving the grass starter an opening.
Jin had a strange look on his face as he watched the little situation from beside his trainer. The disguised Zorua found the rather quick understanding between the two rather interesting. The odd look, one of study, shifted to an amused smirk as the black-haired male glanced at Sable. For a moment, he wondered how many trainers actually tried something like that against Brock. It was only a brief thought and glance, though, and soon enough the disguised Zorua went back to placing his full attention on the battle.
{{OOC: Well, good thing that discussion happened. For you, anyway. XD Keeps me from just mowing down Brock's Pokemon. And if the rather... Roundabout way of me attacking was a bit too confusing, only one of those multiple Vine Whips actually did anything, so only one matters mechanics-wise. ^ _ ^ I just like to give a bit of flair during gym battles.}}

The attacks came from both sides leaving the Geodude no room to dodge, its only choice was to protect its face. Holding both arms in an X fashion over its face the vine whip hit hard enough drop a lesser Geodude but Brock's was much to strong to be dropped with a single move. "Impressive. You may have what it takes after all. Again Geodude!" The second the attacks ended Geodude repeated the same attack as before only this time it kept spinning over and over again throwing smaller rocks across the battle field with no real concern for where they hit. The attacks send up a dust cloud blocking any direct view from one side to the other.

Avonlea stored the berries and other items in her bag before Decadus perched on her shoulder again, giving a gentle and affectionate nudge. She looked at him before remembering the balm mushrooms she had. Did they actually have the effect of teaching a Pokémon any move? Well, Decadus was going to be her guinea pig."Here. I want you to try this, Decadus.""Pidgey?"Decadus ate the mushroom that was held up to him, and Avonlea waited until his feathers ruffled, and then she scanned him with the PokéDex again."Megahorn? You learned a Bug-type move?...Well, at least it's a strong one. The strongest, I think. Do you feel sick or anything?"The Pidgey seemed to deny feeling unwell, which was a relief, but he was clicking his beak like the mushroom left a bad taste in his mouth. Yet, he looked...kind of like he enjoyed the discomfort. Her imagination maybe?

Sable was relieved that, one, the little hair-brained plan worked to land a solid blow, and two, that the Snivy was able to roughly figure out what she wanted him to do from her admittedly vague commands. She knew the fight wasn't quite over yet, though, and frowned as Brock instructed his Geodude to use Rock Throw yet again. It was particularly worrying when, instead of specifically throwing them at the Snivy this time around, the stone Pokemon started throwing rocks randomly, kicking up dust and sand as it did so.
The red-haired trainer grumbled a bit at the sight as she adjusted the set of goggles that sat on her forehead. In particular, she winced as she heard her Snivy once again get caught under a rock, although it decided to use it and the sand for cover for a moment. It didn't take her long to get her goggles into their proper position, though, and gave her one slight advantage. While there was nothing particularly special about the goggles themselves, the tinting on it was enough to help filter out some of the chaos caused by the floating and swirling particles. Even then, it was hard to tell the silhouette of the Geodude apart from those of the other boulders, but the fact that the Geodude was moving helped slightly in that regard.
Gritting her teeth, the teen once more swung her arm out in front of her."It's almost done! Move in close and finish it with Tackle!"she called out, and was stuck having to do little more than watch and wait as her Snivy moved in for what would be the final strike in this portion of the battle. As the grass type kept low to avoid getting hit with any more projectiles, Sable was a bit discomforted as it meant her Pokemon escaped from her own limited sight on the battle. She wasn't even able to hear as the grass serpent lunged at the Geodude and slammed into it.
Eventually, the cloud of dust faded, revealing a rather tired Snivy still standing and a toppled over Geodude. Letting out a sigh of relief, Sable held out the ball for her starter Pokemon."Great job getting this far, now rest up and let the others handle the next half,"she said as a beam of red light shot out from the ball and struck the grass serpent, sucking him back inside of his ball. The teen then clipped Snivy's ball back onto her belt before reaching for a different one.
"I'll admit. Sturdy's a downright pain of an ability to go up against. Especially at this point in a trainer's career,"Sable called out to the gym leader as she gave the ball she held a high and long toss. With a flash of white light while the ball was in midair, out popped the teen's Purrloin, who perched himself on top of one of the large boulders so as to look down at his opponent."All it takes is getting in that one extra move. That's all that's needed to sway a battle in one direction or the other,"the teen continued as she waited for the gym leader to send out his next Pokemon. As the trainer spoke, Scoundrel also watched Brock with a low posture, ears forward, his tail swishing back and forth as he waited to see who he would be facing.
{{OOC: Yeah, I know, cherry tap with Tackle. Could have been worse. Could have cherry tapped with Wrap. XD Also took the liberty to swap out for Purrloin while Brock sends out his next guy since Snivy's... Kinda ready to suffer the same fate as Geodude. XD}}

Brock already knew his Geodude wasn't going to win the battle but it was still hard to watch it get beat with so few moves. It had done its job none the less in putting the Snivy out of the competition for the most part. The trainer wouldn't be able to return to the grass type now. It was simply to weak for that to be a viable option. With the dust gone and the battle going into round two Brock returned the tired and beaten Geodude and awaited the challengers second pokemon. It was a purrloin. "A good trainer insures their pokemon are well prepared for any battle and that goes doubly for gym leaders. Now lets end this battle. Go Onix!" Throwing the red and white pokeball the giant stone snake pokemon emerged from a flash of light that seemed to engulf most of the arena leaving a small mountain of rocks that quickly toke shape as a pokemon whos head reached up almost to the ceiling. Unleashing a roar the giant snake loomed over its tiny foe ready for a command. "Onix Tackle lets go. !" Rather then jump and rush into the opposing pokemon as most would the Onix's head rushed forwards as it to crush the cat like pokemon.

Scoundrel's green eyes blinked twice as what was let out was not some tiny little rock to pounce on, but a large collection of boulders that loomed over the feline. The only indication there was that the Purrloin cared about this change of situation was that it glanced upwards to look the rock snake Pokemon in the eyes. Even the creature's roar did not startle the feline, who merely meowed back as if to say "up yours," in a bored tone. And, as the Onix and Jin could tell, what the dark type was actually saying wasn't quite that far off. In fact, the disguised Zorua couldn't help but cover the lower half of his face with his hand as he tired in vain to suppress the snickers that escaped from him.
What got Scoundrel moving was not motion or voice from his trainer, but the sound of Brock's command and the first indication of the Onix's movement that he could see. As the stone serpent's head started to move forward, the Purrloin leaped off of his boulder perch and, at first, out of the way. His ear twitched when he heard his trainer begin to give a command, though, and almost immediately stretched a paw out as the female trainer spoke."Assist!"the dark type's paw began glowing, but instead of sending out some attack or other, it just hovered in midair a moment to give the cat a handhold. One that he used to change direction and end up slamming into the Onix.
The Purrloin's landing was a little rough, having caught the worse end of that little exchange, but it looked like he did something to chip the rock snake's armor, and that could come in handy for later. It wasn't like he was gonna be the only one battling, after all, so no point in holding back for later. With that thought in mind, the cat glanced towards his trainer and nodded once before facing the Onix again. Sable nodded back, then swung her arm out and pointed at the stone serpent."Once more! Assist!"she called out, knowing exactly how big a gamble a move like that was to rely on, but at this point she knew her options were limited to taking the risk, letting the Purrloin faint, or swapping out only to have the next Pokemon take a hit. At least this option gave Scoundrel a chance to do some damage before getting knocked out.
Once again the little ball of light appeared at the tip of a held up paw, but this time several tendrils shot out and wrapped around the Onix. Even though both of them knew something like this could happen, that didn't keep both trainer and Pokemon from quietly groaning as they saw what move was used."Can't be lucky every time...""This is gonna suck..."Sable adjusted the goggles on her face to make sure they were secure as she spoke, given things were probably about to get rather dusty and sandy in the very near future. Scoundrel, on the other hand, sprinted for cover behind one of the boulders, even though he knew it wouldn't do him a lick of good in the long run. He was not thrilled about the idea of being the Patrat in this game of Liepard and Patrat.
{{OOC: Prankster + Assist = Cheap, due to Assist being classified as a status move. Does not mean I will not use it, though. XD Anyway, roll for Pokemon copied and roll for move copied for the first use, and roll for Pokemon copied and roll for move copied for the second use. Took a lot longer than it should have to roll it up with all the wifi trouble I'm having tonight. All I'll say is that I was hoping for anything other than Wrap for that second use. XD Still, it did its job, and that Purrloin shall have no regrets! ...Except for not following up with Vine Whip or Magical Leaf, that's a bit regretful. XD}}
